Written ‘Nods

Fr Tomi Thomas has been so special to our family. He is so knowledgeable and determined to teach the faith. He loves our family, especially our girls. He does everything he can to include all parishioners and beyond. He is a true leader, and our parish is blessed to have him!

Fr. Nunan is the most gentle and compassionate man in the confessional that I’ve ever met. I’m so very appreciative of that, you really represent Christ in this sacrament.

I’d like to thank so many priests, and some who’ve gone before, who’ve kept faith through their troubled times, and helped us all the more. When churches often need repair, within their walls a priest is there. Celebrating with us the Eucharist, in Christ’s place at the table, giving inspiring sermons and helping us when able. Open to much criticism, sometimes when they aren’t there,  apologies, they’re human too, for them I’ll say a prayer. Not knowing that they’ve touched our lives, in Oh so many ways, we need them there to serve in prayer, so give them Too due praise.  Where would we be in life today without Holy Men and Women so that our faith, hope, love don’t drown  when in this life we’re swimming?. Father, mother, sister, brother let’s all pray for one another!!

I appreciate and say thank you to Fr. James Flahive. He was an example of love and compassion when my mother suddenly died from a coronary thrombosis at the age of 54. I was 11 and the only living child at the time. His gentleness while praying the words of Extreme Unction touched me. He was one of the reasons I was ordained a priest. May he rest in peace.

Paul

Thank you father Pius for helping me to return back to the faith I had abandoned. You saved my life and that of my family through your patient guidance.

Joe

Too often we forget to pray for and acknowledge our pastors. Msgr Joe not only gives homilies which are clear and concise but they educate us on the real beliefs of our faith )pulling no punches). He does all this while still having to deal with the bills, the many organizations, the other concerns of the parish AND politely and clearly responding to my never-ending Church questions.

Louise Perrotta

As a Chaplain of my Pro- Life Org, he always has the words to lead us to good decisions, as we help women in crisis pregnancies. He is also Pastor of St. Therese Lisieux R.C. Church, in beautiful Montauk Pt.

His Parishioners are so lucky to hear his spiritually uplifting sermons.

Recently moved south. Father West is a highly intellectual Priest and Pastor, deeply rooted and so committed to his Catholic faith. What Father West has helped to build through the gift of the Holy Spirit at St Claire of Assisi it so spiritually inspiring, it would only take a practicing Catholic attending a single Sunday Mass celebration to witness that there is a “spiritually renewed movement” happening in this parish, one centered on service, prayer, and daily faith-filled living. Daniel Island is quite blessed to have such a leader in Father West, and it permeates throughout the entire parish community.

Father Paul has brought me closer to God. I had Father Paul in high school as a teacher where he helped me unlock my relationship with Christ. In college, Father Paul encouraged me to discern my vocation. Later in life he continues to help me with my prayer life and devotion to Christ on the cross.

Bob

He was so influential and supportive for me taking classes in Pastoral Formation . These classes have deepen my faith also within the community , family and friends. Thank You for the prayers and support.
